I knew two girls once, sisters I think, one called herself Maybe and the other one Sorry. I thought that was pretty relevant.

I knew a Malaysian called Suparman but never saw him fly…maybe though.

I’ve lost count of the number of Thai friends called Porn. Friend of a friend of a friend is named Kittie Porn.

It’s weird how people in porno’s have names that are sexual innuendo’s. It’s like their parents KNEW they’d get into porn. Destiny Dicks, Ben Dover, Dick Smothers, Pussy Moore, Sandy Buns, Queen Clitora, Stretch Blackwell and Ginger Bush never stood a chance.

Don’t you think that might be pseudonyms? Damn, you look to much pornos :laughing:

I have an HVAC engineer called Fan…

It’s not as weird as you would think, TomHill. A lot of them get into porn BECAUSE they have names like that. It’s a bit like being an actor with only one leg. You get a lot of roles in pirate films.

I knew a guy named Dick and he was a real dick. :s

That absolutely makes sense. However, as a pirate actor, you hit the shit if you have one leg AND one eye only! In pornos, I’ve heard, people need kind of the opposite qualification (i mean in terms of size of extremities) :laughing:

My chemistry teacher’s name was Dick (Richard). He offered to write a recommendation letter for me when I was trying to get scholarships as a chemistry major and I kept getting turned down for offers. When my mother opened a copy of the letter and read it, she was pissed off to discover that it was actually rather negative and made me look like I was lazy and had no motivation to excel.

When I finally started getting scholarships (being sure to not send his letter with my applications), he had the nerve to jokingly ask if I could help his daughter, also my age and going to the same university, get scholarships.

It took all my strength to not pop him in the face.

He was a Dick to my little sister too. He was lucky he didn’t get her until after I had graduated so he only had to deal with my mother (who was already not his biggest fan) and not me too.

I used to hang out with a couple of girls at university. One night we went out to the club and were talking about people looking like their names. They suggested, for example, that people with the name MARK looked a cerain way, like a MARK. They agreed that I looked like my name. One of their boyfriends showed up a little while later and was introduced to me as Richard. I turned to my friend and asked “So, does he look like a Dick.” This guy never cared much for me from the moment I met him. The feeling was pretty mutual as his personality matched his name perfectly.

Let’s see this thread has been done already but I’ll play.

There’s a town back home where Freake is a common last name. I knew a guy from that town with that surname who swore if he ever had a daughter he would name her Ima.

2 weeks ago I interviewed a candidate applying for a job at our company who’s English name was Piano… I explained to her that based on her skills and experience her chances of getting the job were quite good, but that if I hired her she would have to change her English name to something more professional and realistic than Piano… It was then that she pointed out that her Chinese name was 陳鋼琴… I felt like a bit of a cad, but in reality I think it’s her parents who should be dragged into he street and shot… sheesh… :noway:

My nephew’s circumcision was performed by Dr. Dix.

Yesterday on DW-TV: “Richard Sucker live from Lebanon”

And of course one of their kids will end up marrying a descendant of a not-so-famous composer. :slight_smile:
